The 33-year-old Holiday is yet to make his final decision, but Grant is hopeful Holiday will commit and be a part of a 12-man squad in Paris.

The 2024 Olympic team is expected to include such future Hall of Famers asLeBron James, Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry,Joel Embiid,andJayson Tatum, but some of the All-Stars who publicly volunteered recently that they plan to play for Team USA won't be extended invitations.

However, there's no timetable for Holiday's decision, Wojnarowski reports.

Holiday, a five-team All-Defensive selection in the NBA, averaged 19.3 points for theMilwaukee Bucks last season. He also averaged career highs in rebounds (5.1) and free throw percentage (86%) for the Bucks, per ESPN Stats & Information.

Holiday joined the Celtics via a recent trade from the Portland Trail Blazers, who acquired him as part of theDamian Lillardblockbuster.
